Looking good bro! Keep up the good work, you're almost there! :)

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what you guys think would provide more hypertrophy gains, Wendler's "5/3/1 BBB challenge template" or "5/3/1 for bodybuilders template"?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Cytrainer913! I was actually more curious as to EXACTLY what foods some of you have used to full-fill the 10-20 gram carb recommendation. For example, do you eat a rice cake with...

Just out curiosity, what some examples of things that you guys eat to satisfy the 10-20 gram carb recommendation that Dr. Joe stated? Do you change the carb source dependent on whether you're doing...

Yes they are. The OPA (Ontario Physique Association).

On the contrary, as far as I know, I've never heard of any organizations that don't allow for a crossover.

It all depends on what your physique looks like. If it's too muscular for physique than I'd say it'd probably be best you stick with bodybuilding, if not, then you could try both.

Oak, how do you calculate how much to refeed on?

Thank you both for the replies! That definitely clears things up! :)

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what your opinions are about how low should carbs be to efficiently deplete during the carb depletion phase of peak week? I've heard that as long as you're in the...

Hey Adam, I've been reading your log here and you stated that you didn't have much success with a high fat/low carb/mod protein offseason approach; what do you think was wrong with this approach? Do...

Perfect! Thank you so much for the replies guys! :)

Hey guys,

I was just wondering how much of the new Xtend do you guys take during contest prep? Currently I am taking 1 scoop during my morning cardio, and 1 scoop during my workout in the...

^Agreed! Rolled oats FTW! :)

IMO that is too much cardio for sure. He started you out at 45 mins/day?!?!? What the heck was he thinking? Lol! Cardio should be seen as a tool to give your metabolism a jolt; it shouldn't be used...

My apologies beforehand, I don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but how would one go about calculating how much they need to eat for a refeed?

You look phenomenal bro! Best of luck! :)

^Follow this guys advice. Start with 20 mins of cardio ED, then adjust by 5 min increments depending on how your body is progressing. Also, if your progress stalls, you can also choose to adjust your...

Thank you for the quick reply! I do the same as you, in that I only take Xtend during contest prep. But I supposed I was asking simply because although the diet is in check (taking in enough protein...
